TLC Client finds Success with Children’s Book Online Serial Platform

We are delighted to share the good news of Camilla Chester, Mslexia Children’s Prize finalist, and TLC Client, who has secured a commission with an online resource library for schools, called Serial Mash. After a manuscript assessment with TLC Reader Antonia Prescott, and further diligent editing on her children’s book-in-progress, Camilla decided to send her story ‘City Farm’ to Serial Mash. The story idea that Antonia critiqued for her has now been accepted as a potential new series.

Serial Mash offers children a library of online guided reading books, and provides teachers with a new chapter to read every week of term.

Camilla spoke to us about her experience with TLC, and finding success with ‘City Farm’:

“I was lucky enough to win a full MS critique as part of my Mslexia Children’s Finalist Prize. Instead of using it for the book that was in the competition, I chose City Farm, book one of a potential series that I had written with early readers in mind. It was a very simple process – my work was given to Antonia who then sent me back a very detailed and highly insightful report. The report was incredibly useful, not just for that particular piece of work, but for my approach to character voice as a whole.

It has made me think about habits I have fallen into and how I might use different skills and techniques instead. I’m a self-published Children’s Author and, although I am on the path to becoming traditionally published, I also write on commission for Serial Mash. I’m very grateful to Antonia, TLC (and of course Mslexia) for the help I received and would definitely recommend TLC services to other writers.”
